Mice sense Moon and Sun

The paper reports that mice exhibit behavioral activity with ~14 and ~28 day periodicity, aligned with geomagnetic fluctuations from the Moon and Sun, independent of circadian rhythms.

Exploring social modulation: Microglia as a key mediator of individual immune response, plasticity and pathology in App-NL-G-F mouse model of Alzheimer's disease

This study investigates how social environment affects Alzheimer's disease progression in App-NL-G-F mice, showing social deficits precede pathology and linking microglia activation to neuroinflammation and neurogenesis.

Inexpensive, scalable camera system for tracking rats in large spaces

The paper develops an open-source, scalable camera system for tracking rats in large spaces, showing improved accuracy in spatial firing and head direction cell analysis compared to commercial systems.
